Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

[Berzerk]

my only issue is it sometimes takes awhile to get in a game. Lag here exists but it aint affecting my games too badly. Id say 2 out of 10 games lag.

joined with guys from ars forums ,steam and some bajans and occassionaly run a lil sweat. certainly not regretting my purchase.

and reaper that was an utterly cheap and childish comment. I really thought better of you.

[Redlum08]

I was wondering from the people who purchased it for PC, yall having any other issues? Anyone bought it and regretted it?

I'll probably pick this up for both console and PC in a few weeks when I have some time to play.

Welcome to the "Ass Kissers" club Woody.....look forward to your review after you've "played" the game.

Reaper...come on...at least play the single player.  What do you have to lose?

I not buying it either, till its fixed, but I can at least acknowledge the fact that the core game itself
has a lot of polish.  Its just the MP, and IW.net that fails...HARD.

lol @ modern warfail 2. That never gets old.

Reaper, I'm interested in that Halo comment you made.

It's very intriguing. Began to think I was the only one who remembered that Halo was a PC game that went console.

Spurning our beloved platform and setting the stage for the now epic console wars before us.

Today's success of Modern Warfare 2 on the xbox 360 is a direct descendant of the success of Halo on the original xbox.

PC Game Gone Wild

That Halo move had me bitter and anti-xbox for a while. A lonnngggg while.

Is that what you meant by your comment? Or am I misinterpreting?

[Reaper2051]

yea thats what I meant Baego.

[Spazosaurus]

Multiplayer is bess bess BESS yo. Very intriguing gameplay. Lag occasionally but I guess that's to be expected givn the nature of the beast.

Here's to IW giving us dedi servers in the near future as the hackers proved it could be done.

All in all, CERTAINLY not regretting the purchase. Sure, one can play cracked online, but there's no fun in the continuous cat and mouse game of "Hack the Patch: The Saga Continues", not to mention putting up with the cheating and all that low gravity bollocks.

Being a sellout never felt this good.

Hmm I might add this to steam soon, how many gigs should I expect including patchzorz?

[Berzerk]

just around 12 gigs or so. my steam friend list just jumped signifigantly as im getting more people in on the game. I think a trini sweat is imminent.

[TriniXaeno]

Just around 12 gigs the man say yes. lol

lawd, 20gb free on my 500gb drive and that is before dragon age.

Nice sweat last night fellas...win some, lose some, so it go.

As an avid Halo man...I've a few things to say about MW2. This is a completely different beast to Halo. I'm way too accustomed to the run and gun of Halo, to the point that I'm now extra conservative in MW2 because I got slaughtered the first few games I played. To some extent, I believe this to be one of my complaints about the matchmaking system that IW has employed (at least when I compare it to Bungie's approach to matchmaking), because my first game in, level 1 noob in MW2 (Halo is really the only multiplayer FPS that I've played on the 360) get drop into a game with level 24, 37, 45 etc.....WHAAAATTT??? Madness...where all d other level 1 noobs like me??? Put me in dem match!! It just seems unfair that you get thrown in the fray with people of all skill level...slaughteration cometh! Whereas, with Bungie's approach in Halo, I feel much more confident that the people I'm playing against are generally within my skill range, so I don't get WTFPWNED so easily. Of course form time to time I get a match where I no doubt get my arse handed to me in Halo, but I'm happy to say that those matches aren't frequent for me in Halo. Unfortunately, the same can't always be said for my experience with MW2...case in point was one of the matches we played last night...I ended up with a horrible k/d. Nonetheless, I feel that I'm progressing in MW2, and will continue to play it as it's quite fun.

My other complaint is a lack of a Bungie.net-like stats site for MW2....I really hope they have one in the works, because I enjoy reviewing my games the next day at the office and showing off some of my exploits with fellow gaming colleagues.

[rassmatic]

is anyone having problem connecting to matches on the PC version today? haven't been able to join a match since this morning.

[Nephilim]

same here, i thought it was me, went and looking to fwd ports and shit

[rassmatic]

lol. i went and forwarded some ports too. didn't work though. i hope they didn't find a way to block "non-legit" copies from playing.

[woodyear99]

Hmm maybe I'll hold off on buying this hehe.
